Something you've done that 99.9% of TW members have not

I've been to the Korean War Memorial.... in Pyongyang.





I've also been chased by pirates off Somalia, swam with sharks at Cocos Island, spent a day wandering around Midway Island, gone through the Suez and Panama canals, and worked on diesel engines large enough to have ladders inside the crank case.

 

OMFG, you win. /closethread. jesus

 

How'd you get in there? They let you keep this picture??

 

I was working on a ship that was on a PL480 food aid contract. In exchange for North Korea demolishing a cooling tower at a nuke plant the US donated a bunch of grain. We hauled a load from Kalama Washington to Nampo and offloaded for nearly a month. You can see the dock at this location: 38.722439,125.404062. When we first entered NK waters a group of government officials boarded and searched the ship for contraband, collected up all of the cell phones and cameras and secured them in a cabinet that they locked and sealed. They also shut off our satellite comms and AIS. I went outside when we were going through a set of locks and had a good laugh as they filled the empty space around my ship with small boats. When we came out of the lock all of the small boats got slammed around and beat all to hell by our prop wash (same thing happens in Panama when they put yachts behind the ship). Over a three day period they took groups from the ship into Pyongyang for a tour. They unlocked two cameras so that we could take pictures while on the tours. After all of the tours NK officials went through the images and deleted anything that was considered objectionable. What they didn't realize was that after the last tour they didn't lock the cameras up and we were able to make copies of everything. After we left and went to Singapore we found out that Kim Jung Il had likely had a stroke during our time in port.

I'm also probably one of the few people who have watched Team America and read 1984 while in North Korea

Drive over a frozen lake to work every day , no such thing as brakes on a lake .

I get to blow shit up !!!

I mix 1 tonne of cyanide with water every day .

I get to play with almost every deadly chemical known to man on a daily basis .I hate the smell of Sulphur Dioxide but enjoy Nuclear sensors .
When I work in the refinery , I get to produce on average 20 bars of gold per day . They weigh 60 pounds each.
When I work underground , its a 45 minute trip to the bottom in a raining elevator , then you hop into a Diesel golf cart and drive down hill in circles for two hours .
If you think it takes a long time to get to work , try getting back up when there are 1500 guys down there all wanting the ride up at the same time .
Two miles below the surface with pictures /videos . Gotta figure out how to post vids here .

Definitely not as cool as most on here but here is mine. Not sure if you guys know about or remember Seseame Street from the 70's/ 80's. But I actually sat in Big Birds nest when I was 6 years old. My father and uncles worked the set.

Second although most have done this stunt I shattered my left femur, didn't break skin, and broke my right shoulder same accident with my old Yamaha Warrior.

And sadly was there with my Dad when he passed away.

I know quiet life but a good one so far.
